Michael,
Although you may wish to customize the map sequence (as described in my
previous post) simply because Ctrl-Alt-ß is harder to type than Ctrl-\,
I'm wondering whether there could be something odd with your setup, as I
don't see this issue when I switch to a German keyboard layout. For me,
typing the sequence you described in insert mode brings up the "Enter a
fmt / clr string" prompt, just as <C-\><C-\> does on my US keyboard layout.

I'm wondering whether the <C-\><C-\> map is even defined for you. Does
:imap in a Txtfmt buffer display something like the following?
i <C-\><C-\> @<Plug>TxtfmtInsertTok_i

The only thing I know of that could prevent the map from being defined
is a conflict or ambiguity with a mapping defined by another plugin, but
even then, unless you've altered the default setting of the
txtfmtMapwarn option, the Txtfmt mapping will be defined anyway.
